Challenge Summary

Our client is looking to develop a professional-quality PC game that will help teach logical thinking Science concepts to first, second, or third graders ages 7-9 years old in an adaptable manner. The game idea can be targeted to one grade level - it does not need to cover a range of ages. The game idea should focus on logical thinking and problem solving.

We are asking the TopCoder community for game ideas. What do you think would be a real cool game to teach Science concepts to young students?

Round 1

At the end of Round 1, TopCoder will choose five (5) Round 1 winners, each will win $50 and get specific milestone feedback. These winners and any member who had a passing submission in Round 1 will be eligible to compete in Round 2 for the additional $1500 in prizes.

Your round 1 submission should contain the same as the Round 2 submission.  See Submission Details.

Round 2

Round 2 will start with the announcement of the Five (5) $50 Round 1 winners and their review from TopCoder.
